VM setup for Malware RE labs. Follow the steps below, celebrate at the correct times, and create issues on github if you face any problems.

• Vmware Workstation (you can get a trial license for 30 days)
• Virtualbox (free) Note: Use Virtualbox 5.2 or below. 6.0 will not support 32 bit VMs
• Hyper-V (pre-installed in some MSFT enterprise machines)

1. Download VM from here.

   1. Select Win7 with IE8, and the hypervisor you will be using.

2. Import this image into your hypervisor (Hyper-V, Virtualbox, VMWare, or whatever you're using).

   1. When creating the VM, use the Settings menu to increase the RAM to 2048

3. Once the VM is created, take a snapshot at this stage. Call it "Initial-Carrie".

4. Enable Shared Clipboard in VM settings. Or if you're using Hyper-V, use the "Clipboard" menu in the VM menu bar.

5. In an administrator powershell, run:

    PS C:\Windows\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bsoman3/Meeseeks/master/Carrie.ps1'))
   

   1. This step may take a while to run. If it successful, you will see several new icons on the desktop and in the start menu.
   2. Play with some of your new tools-- run IDA from the start menu and click around its interface
   3. Open OllyDBG and drag any exe file into its window. What do you notice?

6. Take a snapshot at this stage. Call it "Clean".

7. Celebrate!! Sample jig for celebration

Note: This is optional, and will not be used in the workshop. Feel free to skip to the Data Transfer Section.

1. Download a REMnux image here.

2. Import the image into your hypervisor.

3. Take a snapshot at this stage. Call it "Initial-Sue"

4. Enable Shared Clipboard in VM settings.

5. In the terminal window, run

    remnux@remnux:~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bsoman3/Meeseeks/master/Sue.sh
    remnux@remnux:~$ sudo chmod +x Sue.sh
    remnux@remnux:~$ sudo ./Sue.sh
   

6. Take a snapshot at this stage. Call it "Ready".

7. Celebrate!! Sample jig for celebration

• If you have Virtualbox or VMware

  1. Go to Settings > Network and change the network adapter to "Host-only Adapter".
  2. Devices > Drag and Drop > Bidrectional

• If you have Hyper-V

  1. Create a new Internal Virtual Switch.
  2. Connect both your virtual machines to that switch.
  3. Gotcha: Hyper-V doesn't allow bi-directional clipboard. In the menu bar on the VM window, there is a "Clipboard" option. You will be using that instead.

1. Try transfering a file on to your VM from your host. This is critical.

(Steps 2-5 are optional, and needed only if you set up the sniffer VM)

2. Ping from Carrie to Sue.

    PS C:\Users\IEUser> ping 192.168.12.1
   

3. Ping from Sue to Carrie.

    remnux@remnux:~$ ping 192.168.12.2
   

4. Start inetsim on Sue by

    remnux@remnux:~$ inetsim
   

5. Open Google chrome on Carrie and type 192.168.12.1 in the address bar. You should see the the default html page for Inetsim

• Celebration is a really important part of learning. Here is another classy dance song in case you need ideas.
